Default Re: *Needed* 20 to Pre-order Wavetrac LSD for SLK32/SRT-6

Yay, put me on the list, im all ordered up and ready to go!

Talked with Devon, great guy, he knows his stuff.

He answered all my Q's. And oh man this thing is gonna be a awesome upgrade on our cars!

Incase anyone else was wondering. This LSD should not affect our TC system and ABS. I asked him and he said they have had no problems with it on other vehciles that have TC. Once i started thinking about it, it all made perfect sense to me. Standard TC works by applying the brake to the spinning wheel and pulling back on the throttle (only if it senses a fixed difference between the rotational speed of the 2 rear wheels in our case), you know how sometimes "rarely" you get both wheels spinning just perfectly and TC never kicks in.(i dunno about the Xfire if it senses rear wheel speed and comaires it to the front wheel speed) but i know on my dads charger, if you get it just right, she will spin for a long while (and the TC system on that is a bit of a "fun ****" as well. lol - its a benz system as well). With the LSD, the TC will barely kick in, or never kick in at all depending on how you launch and have the LSD set-up.. because both wheels would be reletively close to the same rotational speed; Due to the LSD. This will also save on brake wear as well

As for some of the other q's they will have answers for us once they get to try it out on the test car.

Should be fun, Cant wait, this will be a nice christmas gift to myself and for others too!
